Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an equipment, such as a mobile equipment or user equipment (ME/UE), may determine that a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) coupled to the equipment is associated with a particular bit value indicating to skip at least one polling event of a polling cycle; and/or skip the at least one polling event based at least in part on the particular bit value In some aspects, the equipment may provide category information indicating a device category of the equipment, wherein the category information is provided to a UICC of the equipment; and/or receive, from the UICC, configuration information that is based at least in part on the category information, wherein the configuration information relates to an operation associated with power consumption by the equipment. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising: determining, by a mobile equipment or user equipment (ME/UE), that a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) coupled to the ME/UE is associated with a particular bit value included in an elementary file, wherein the particular bit value indicates which at least one polling event of a polling cycle to skip by identifying at least one of: a value n when the ME/UE is to skip a polling event for every nth polling cycle, or a value m and a value p when the ME/UE is to skip a polling event for m of every p polling cycles; and skipping, by the ME/UE, the at least one polling event based at least in part on the particular bit value.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polling cycle is aligned with an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle of the ME/UE.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the at least one polling event corresponds to an eDRX wakeup event for every nth eDRX cycle, where n is an integer.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the at least one polling event corresponds to an eDRX wakeup event for every m out of p eDRX cycles, where m and p are integers.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular bit value is for an extended field associated with the UICC.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UICC is a soldered card.
7. A mobile equipment or user equipment (ME/UE), comprising: a memory; and one or more processors, operatively coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to: determine that a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) coupled to the ME/UE is associated with a particular bit value included in an elementary file, wherein the particular bit value indicates which at least one polling event of a polling cycle to skip by identifying at least one of: a value n when the ME/UE is to skip a polling event for every nth polling cycle, or a value m and a value p when the ME/UE is to skip a polling event for m of every p polling cycles; and skip the at least one polling event based at least in part on the particular bit value.
8. The ME/UE of claim 7 , wherein the polling cycle is aligned with an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle of the ME/UE.
9. The ME/UE of claim 8 , wherein the at least one polling event corresponds to an eDRX wakeup event for every nth eDRX wakeup cycle, where n is an integer.
10. The ME/UE of claim 8 , wherein the at least one polling event corresponds to an eDRX wakeup event for every m out of p eDRX wakeup cycles, where m and p are integers.
11. The ME/UE of claim 7 , wherein the particular bit value is for an extended field associated with the UICC.
12. The ME/UE of claim 7 , wherein the UICC is a soldered card.
13. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising: means for determining that a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) coupled to the apparatus is associated with a particular bit value included in an elementary file, wherein the particular bit value indicates which at least one polling event of a polling cycle to skip by identifying at least one of: a value n when the apparatus is to skip a polling event for every nth polling cycle, or a value m and a value p when the apparatus is to skip a polling event for m of every p polling cycles; and means for skipping the at least one polling event based at least in part on the particular bit value.
14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the polling cycle is aligned with an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle of the apparatus.
15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the at least one polling event corresponds to an eDRX wakeup event for every nth eDRX cycle, where n is an integer.
16. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the at least one polling event corresponds to an eDRX wakeup event for every m out of p eDRX wakeup cycles, where m and p are integers.
17. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the particular bit value is for an extended field associated with the UICC.
18. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the UICC is a soldered card.
19. The apparatus of claim 13 , where the elementary file is provided by the UICC based on the UICC being un-detachable from the apparatus.
20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication, the instructions comprising: the one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of an equipment may cause the one or more processors to: determine that a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) coupled to the equipment is associated with a particular bit value included in an elementary file, wherein the particular bit value indicates which at least one polling event of a polling cycle to skip by identifying at least one of: a value n when the equipment is to skip a polling event for every nth polling cycle, or a value m and a value p when the equipment is to skip a polling event for m of every p polling cycles; and skip the at least one polling event based at least in part on the particular bit value.
21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 20 , wherein the polling cycle is aligned with an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle of the equipment.
22. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 21 , wherein the at least one polling event corresponds to an eDRX wakeup event for every nth eDRX wakeup cycle, where n is an integer.
23. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 21 , wherein the at least one polling event corresponds to an eDRX wakeup event for every m out of p eDRX wakeup cycles, where m and p are integers.
24. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 20 , wherein the particular bit value is for an extended field associated with the UICC.
25. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 20 , wherein the UICC is a soldered card.
26. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 20 , where the elementary file is provided by the UICC based on the UICC being un-detachable from the equipment.
